Here are the pictures of EmaLee’s bag. I love the blue!!

This past week we learned how to make tote bags in our sewing mini enrichment class. I was surprised at how simple a plain, unlined bag was to make. I was also motivated enough to figure out how to make one lined.

I invited EmaLee and Lani over today to try and make one with me. We were going to have to figure it out as we went because none of us had done it before. Lani found a tutorial online and we got started.

Because of the Prop 8 canvasing, we didn’t get started until around 2 or 3 this afternoon. It took some time to get everything cut out because we had to keep rereading the directions and all the measuring and because there were three of us all taking turns.

The finished product was awesome! I wish I had thought to get pictures of EmaLee’s and Lani’s bags before the left. Maybe they’ll send me one (hint, hint) so i can post it. Here’s mine:

I don’t know that you could actually call it a project though. It didn’t take a lot of time. Just another Sunday when I realized that I didn’t have a bracelet to go with the skirt I picked. I decided I’d make one. Then I couldn’t find the right earrings to go with the whole ensemble so I had to make some of those too. Amy will be proud 🙂

I was getting ready for church this morning and discovered that I didn’t really have any red. I decided to make myself a bracelet really quick out of some of the beads I had. Erin liked it so much that she asked me to make one for her mom. When I got home from church, I made one for her mom and one for her. I thought they were all cute and she loved the ones I made for them! Me too!

I finished this quilt a couple of weeks ago. It’s for my nephew. He just doesn’t know it yet. 🙂
